T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma
Template:Infobox medical condition (new) T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (WHO 2008),[1]Template:Rp previously labeled precursor T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (WHO 2001)[1]Template:Rp is a form of lymphoid leukemia[2][3] and lymphoma[4] in which too many T-cell lymphoblasts (immature white blood cells) are found in the blood, bone marrow, and tissues, particularly mediastinal lymph nodes.[1]Template:Rp Labeling as leukemia or lymphoma depends on which feature is more pronounced in a given situation, but has no biological or treatment implication.[1]Template:Rp
It is uncommon in adults, but represents 15% of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia and 90% of lymphoblastic lymphoma.[1]Template:Rp
The 2008 terminology dropped "precursor" to avoid linguistic redundancy because the lymphoblast is an immature precursor cell by definition.[1]Template:Rp
